Unusual double vessel-not sure what it is-has makers mark. Help!

So, my second request of the day...can anybody shed any light on what this even is and does anyone recognise the makers mark? It's pretty rustic but well made so not a beginners night class job I don't think. I think it has something to do with plants-maybe a bonsai planter-but I'm not sure how you explain the two holes...a double planter? Other have suggested a tissue holder/food serving vessel/bedside caddy...who knows!? But I like it!
Measures 28 x 10 x 12 and has four little feet. Makers mark on the bottom which could be a chinese character or an n,u or an f!
Any thoughts welcome!
Thanks

Is it an ikebana vase - for Japanese flower arrangeming? Looks like nice pot.

Now that is a genius thought...hadn't occurred to me! I will search them up! Thanks Ben.
